Hello guys i'm kinda new to the C# i'm working on an application based on a C++ blueprint, and i have the this obstacle the C++ blueprint has the

scanf("%f", &XXX);

&XXX

in the scanf statement we see that they called (XXX) method or variable i'm not quite sure , how can i do that in c# as well

and

printf("\n input:");

i'm just wondering what's the equivalent of the previously stated statement in c#, any help will be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance.

forgive me for any kind of shortcomings in thread

    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            float xxx = 0;
            string xxxstring = Console.ReadLine();
            if (float.TryParse(xxxstring, out xxx))
            {
                Console.WriteLine("xxx = {0}", xxx);
            }
            else

                Console.WriteLine("Invalid input");

i've stumbled over the link that you posted me i don't want it to parse regexp files or anything like that at all, plus i've stated that i'm quite new to the field of programming area, and all the codes in the link and it's sub tree of links are quite nested and complicated, for now i just want to know the proper substitution for this line in c++ in c# i don't want to get lost in the details of the scanf abilities and the different approaches been made to replace it in c#

scanf("%f", &XXX);

Thanks for the ahmed you've been of great help, now the final last thing, i can consider this code as being the one of the ways to replace the scanf used in cpp into c# code right ??

thanks for having the patience to handle my primitive questions, and have nice day
